About

You’ll likely enjoy this lighthearted Star Trek time-travel romp with a serious save-the-whales message; Not for you if you want only straight-laced sci-fi, or if you dislike fish-out-of-water comedies like Time After Time or Galaxy Quest.

Pros: fun time-travel adventure; strong humor; eco message | Cons: uneven tone balance; some plot questions
